    I like it ! The only concern is you must have it plugged in at all times, in order for this lab top to work well, it because it doesn’t effectively run its best , without being plugged in to the wall . When playing a video game on it.

    It's loud but when playing with a headset you won't notice the noise. It's also pretty decent computer to run AI algorithms.

    This laptop I purchased after my first one broke, this is the nicest laptop I've ever used and even seen, the visual and performance of this laptop is one of a kind. The silver look with a 4070 RTX GPU in a laptop is unmatched. Preforms and looks good I would recommend this over any laptop you will find.

    Is a very good and powerful laptop, the main problem i have is the screen is very dim (rated for 300 nit) and sometimes the laptop is limited by the cpu and ram configurations in modern titles. 100% recommended if on sale

    I have had several Alienware laptops and was wondering how the Core Ultra chip would handle gaming, it rocks! Yes, the fans are loud on performance mode but that’s what they are made to do and keep it cool, and it does. They added the Windows Hello feature to this model and it is built like a tank. This was a huge upgrade in my opinion from last years model, and I hope going forward they keep advancing this model, A++++

    This laptop overall isnt anything special, nor is it that bad when well maintained. My overall problem with it before I switched to desktop is that the keyboard was giving me issues, at the software level (which was only resolved after giving the computer a fresh restart.)

    The performance is immediately noticeable, especially with the graphics. I also enjoy how easy it is to setup was and how many features are in the Alienware command center. You can change fan speed to 5 different presets or make a custom one. Also, the display is gorgeous in my room. I highly recommend this laptop, 10/10 for me.

    I'm really enjoying this laptop. The gaming performance is outstanding. I can run most newer games at 1440p medium/high settings 60-80 fps. You can upgrade the ram and there's two SSD slots. The fit and finish is excellent. I have no overheating issues but I do run my fans at 100 percent. Purchased it on sale for 1,299.99

    The speed is very good but there are little things that are annoying. The sound of the cooling fans are like being near Niagra Falls. At first it sounds nice but it gets so loud you can't concentrate. Cleaning this up and bios update was difficult.
